Recently, Arbys removed the much loved “potato cakes” item from their menu, to be replaced with crinkle cut french fries. Now, dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with crinkle cut french fries, theyre just basic and common. You can get them at the grocery store and tons of restaurants, both fast food and sit down. Arbys potato cakes were unique, even places that had similar foods like McDonalds hash browns were completely different. Theres no reason why Arbys cant also have crinkle cut french fries, but they definitely should not have removed potato cakes from the menu.
I know that I, for one, will not be returning to any Arbys locations until they bring back potato cakes, and I can guarantee that I am not alone in this statement. I encourage any potato cake lovers, friends and family of potato cake lovers, and just those passionate about not removing staple menu items, to join me in signing this petition.
